White Sox's Tanner Banks: Takes loss against Athletics

Banks (0-3) allowed four earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings to take the loss Friday against the Athletics.

Banks started his third consecutive game, with Friday's outing marking his longest appearance of the season. He's had poor results in the new role, allowing eight earned runs across 10.1 innings to go along with a more impressive 10:3 K:BB. It's unlikely that Banks will be stretched out as a traditional starter, though he may continue in the hybrid role so long as Mike Clevinger (biceps) is out.
